Spring Progresses

Here in British Columbia we think that we have a corner on early spring. Usually seems to me that we're miles ahead of spring in the east, but not this year. In Sicamous we've had a very cold spring and few warm days. This has been fine for the daphne but not much else. They've had a long season. The magnolia has most of its flowers out and looks great. The forsythia are still out and yellow but the early daffodils are about gone though most of the tulips have barely begun. And now for some heat this weekend-- so those flowers that we usually enjoy for so long will probably soon be done.

I'm wondering if the roots of those "iffy" plants that I bought last summer- the "snow eucalyptus" and "evergreen clematis" have survived. The tops haven't so I'm hoping to see some new growth. Time will tell.
